Dilution Refrigerator Cryostat(s)

The section for Nanostructure Physics in the Department of Applied Physics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, is developing a new laboratory for the measurement of superconducting quantum circuits and quantum limited atomic force microscopy (Q-AFM).

The laboratory will eventually be equipped with two (2) new low temperature dilution refrigerator cryostats. The cryostats will be equipped for low-noise microwave transmission and reflection experiments using cryogenic microwave amplifiers. Low vibration is essential for the applications in quantum-limited atomic force microscopy. The current procurement applies to the first of these two (2) cryostats.

Note: In this procurement of the first cryostat, the tenderer may also provide an option for the purchase of a second cryostat. The tenderer may submit, in 5.3.12, a quotation for a second cryostat identical to that specified in the current procurement. The quotation should be valid for two (2) years from the date of final payment for the first cryostat. The quotation for the second cryostat will be handled as an option in the written agreement signed between KTH and awarded tenderer. This option will be regulated according to Section 6. Commercial requirements/terms.

According to LOU Chapter four (4) Section fifteen (15), it is also possible for tenderer to submit one tender for the first cryostat, this procurement. See more info about tender award ranking in Section 4. Evaluation of tenderers and tenders.
